MCP connector

The Scryn MCP connector lets you use Scryn directly from an AI assistant such as Claude. Once connected, the assistant can search 30M+ private companies, pull enriched profiles and contacts, and build lists — all from your conversation, on your behalf.

The connector server URL is:

https://app.scryn.co/mcp

Use the URL exactly as shown, with no trailing slash. The OAuth token audience and resource-server discovery identity are bound to this exact string.

Requirements

  • A Scryn account with an active subscription or trial. Sign up or sign in at app.scryn.co . Tool availability follows your plan tier.
  • An AI assistant that supports MCP connectors (for example, Claude).

Connecting

Option A — Claude connector directory

Once Scryn is listed in Claude’s directory: in claude.ai , go to Settings → Connectors, find Scryn, click Connect, and approve the Scryn consent screen.

Option B — Add as a custom connector (available today)

On paid Claude plans (Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise): go to Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, paste https://app.scryn.co/mcp, click Connect, and approve the OAuth consent screen.

Option C — Claude Desktop (one-click extension)

Download the Scryn desktop extension at app.scryn.co/scryn.mcpb  and double-click to install — it handles the OAuth sign-in for you.

Other MCP-compatible clients (such as Cursor or VS Code) connect to the same URL via OAuth discovery, or via npx [email protected] https://app.scryn.co/mcp. After connecting, ask the assistant to search for companies — it will call Scryn on your behalf. You can revoke access anytime from Settings → Integrations in Scryn, or from your assistant’s connector settings.

What you can do

Once connected, the assistant can use these Scryn tools on your behalf.

Search & discovery

  • search — Find companies from a natural-language description of what you’re looking for.
  • find_similar_to_companies — Surface companies similar to a set of reference companies.
  • start_competitor_search / get_competitor_search — Discover and retrieve competitors for a company.
  • list_related_organizations — Explore organizations related to a given company.
  • get_references — Reference data used to build searches (for example country and region identifiers).

Company profiles & enrichment

Enrichment actions may require a higher plan tier.

  • get_organization — Retrieve a single company’s full enriched profile.
  • get_company_leadership — Get the leadership and key people at a company.
  • get_company_news — Fetch recent news about a company.
  • get_parent_classification — Understand a company’s corporate structure and classification.
  • unlock_enrichment — Unlock parent-company enrichment (talent movement, brand signals, ownership lens).

Contacts

May require a higher plan tier; contact reveals consume enrichment credits.

  • get_contacts — Retrieve business contacts associated with a company.
  • start_exec_contact / get_exec_contact — Request and retrieve executive contact details.

Lists & exports

Exports consume export credits and may require a higher plan tier.

  • create_saved_list / list_saved_lists — Create and browse saved company lists.
  • add_orgs_to_list / add_orgs_to_list_by_criteria — Add companies to a list directly or by criteria.
  • search_in_list — Search within a saved list.
  • export_by_criteria / get_export_status / list_exports — Export results and track export jobs.

Sessions & account

  • list_chat_sessions / get_chat_session — Resume prior Scryn search sessions.
  • get_usage — Check your current usage.
  • whoami / ping — Verify the connection and the authenticated account.

Authentication & scopes

The connector authenticates through a standard OAuth authorization flow. At the consent screen you approve exactly which permissions the assistant may use; it can act only within the scopes you grant. Tokens are stored securely and remain valid until you revoke access — anytime from Settings → Integrations — or close your account.

Scryn requests the following permissions:

PermissionWhat it allows
Search the company databaseRun natural-language and structured filter searches. Running a search is free; companies it shows are downloaded using your export allowance (charged once per company, then free forever, shared with web CSV exports).
Read your saved lists and exportsEnumerate saved lists and exports; browse list metadata and export job status.
Read your conversation historyRead past chat sessions, including companies surfaced or find-similar results. Private user data — only granted when you explicitly accept this scope.
Read company profilesRead full company profiles, hierarchies, and enrichment. Each company opened is downloaded using your export allowance — charged once per company, then free forever.
Create and modify your saved listsCreate lists and add companies (by id or criteria). Additive only — cannot delete lists or remove companies.
Run CSV exports against your subscription quotaStart async CSV exports of companies matching a criteria. Each exported company consumes one export credit.
Unlock enrichment, competitors, leadership & contactsUnlock parent-company enrichment, find competitors, pull leadership and news, and reveal contacts (email, phone, LinkedIn). Contact reveals are pre-charged to your enrichment-credit quota.

Usage & limits

Requests made through the connector count toward your Scryn plan’s usage, the same as searches run in the web app. Use get_usage at any time to check your current usage. Some actions — such as unlocking enrichment or exporting — consume plan credits.

Data & privacy

When you use the connector, the company records and results you retrieve flow into your AI assistant’s conversation and are processed on that provider’s infrastructure under their policies. For full detail on what Scryn collects, how we use and store it, third-party sharing, and retention, see our Privacy Policy.
